WOOD

One of the great things about hardwood flooring is that it never goes out of style. It has been in use continuously for thousands of years, and despite numerous shifts and changes in style and design, it has survived the test of time. This is largely due to the fact that hardwood is an instant connection between an interior location and the natural world. The feeling of a forest, the essence of a densely planted wood, all can be achieved in even the most modern mundane environments. Every plank, board, or strip used in a hardwood floor is a unique work of natural art, with its own individual patterns, and colours. Over time wood is going to change. It will acquire subtle shadings of colour, and pick up small scratches, nicks, and dents, which will collect in the surface to create a unique personality for your floor. That is the kind of character that cannot be bought, but can only be attained over the course of years. Wood is a particularly good flooring material for large open spaces because the grains and patterns found within its surface will help to break up the monotony of the room, acting as a backdrop, while also working to infuse interest and design into the space.
